There is new bombshell evidence presented by Officer Tou Thao’s defense in the death of George Floyd. It appears that Dr. Andrew Baker, the Hennepin County Medical Examiner, was coerced into claiming George Floyd suffered neck compressions.
Prior to meeting with the State, Dr. Baker conveyed to them that “[t]he autopsy revealed no physical evidence suggesting that Mr. Floyd died of asphyxiation. Mr. Floyd did not exhibit signs of petechiae, damage to his airways or thyroid, brain bleeding, bone injuries, or internal bruising”
On Friday, May 29, 2020, the Complaint stated that the full report of the ME was pending, but that the preliminary findings “revealed no physical findings that support a diagnosis of traumatic asphyxia or strangulation”. See Complaint in State v. Chauvin (27-CR-20-12646).
